Had an Astra trying to race me today......that's right. An Astra.
After getting home and regaining control from laughing so much, I fitted interior LED's all round :)


i ordered a shedload of LEDs on sunday night :D

all interior , numberplate , and sidelights. Sidelights came today and im well pleased. Had LEDs all round in my last car , but it didnt have blown bulb warning system so i was wary this time round. I DIYed the interior LEDs in my last car so liked them so much i just had to buy proper ones for the Leon. Just waiting on the rest to arrive , the numberplate one are my only worry , do they show up if the bulb blows ? I popped the holder out to check the dash light didnt pop up , but although it didnt , i get the felling the LEDs might show an error :(

Also Osram Nightbreakers on the way , havent drove the car at night yet , but assume it'll benefit from an upgrade.


laughed today at the message the ebay seller sent me . .

"hi friend, thank you so much for your supporting to my store, :)

but no worry, we promise, if you could not get it or you have any questions, plz let us know at the first time and we will do our best to serve for you. :D

Fitted a new EGR gasket last night after having stuttering/dpf issues. Was running fine until the commute to work this morning. EML/Glow plug light on and limp mode.

All this started after I had it serviced and weirdly enough since I started using V Power Nitro +, hoping to meet Sam (Jarre) tomorrow to have it scanned.

Just curious, did you /anyone ever tap into it? Pretty bad good job you was not in it.

Just what I was thinking. No dodgey footwell lights been fitted? Lol

Not that I know of, I'm guessing something has obviously been fiddled with from the previous owner, I also tried contacting the place where I purchased it from, guess what? they closed down and moved.. Lesson learnt! Will never buy a dodgy car from someone in Birmingham again! I'm just so thankful I was not driving as anything could have happened! Was so Strange though, the car was literally parked up, woke up in the morning neighbours knocking my door screaming your car is on fire, ran outside and there it was, in a plume of smoke with a fire engine smothering the car with water!

The rest of my LEDs arrived today , all interior , number plates , and boot. Though the bloody boot one is yellow ! Its worse than the origional. Osram nightbreakers fitted , look whiter that whatever was in before. Bought new numberplates , will fit the after vinyl wrap goes on tomorrow.
Went to let the painter see what state my alloys were in before he refurbs them , booked in over the next couple of weeks.Just to order tyres now and that will be me done for a while.
